What would be your LEGO Dream Set?
|
I’ll stick with the answer I posted to a similar thread about a year ago:
Globe model kit (18” - 24” diameter) with stand.
|
I’ll second this as well. The last survey for S@H that the Ambassadors did
included many recommendations for a globe, and I was quite disappointed
the suggestion for it didn’t make it into the final report to S@H. So maybe
this time it’ll get further.
|
Honestly, with this
and this, what more
does one need?
|
A design incorporating plates in addition to bricks. This would offer:
1) better resolution to the continents
2) a more refined spherical shape
|
As well as keeping the price down by using (theoretically) less-expensive plates
vs. more-expensive bricks. If it’s huge and costs $500, nobody will buy it, but
if it’s a regular-size globe like you see in schools, I can see that going for
$150 or less, if you use plates and some internal bracing for stability.
